Abstract:

In this paper, a measles epidemic model with partial immunity and environmental transmission is considered, and the basic reproduction number R0 is obtained. By constructing Lyapunov functions, we prove the global asymptotic stability of the infection-free equilibrium and the endemic equilibrium. When R0 < 1, the infection-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable, which implies that measles dies out eventually; when R0 > 1, the model has a unique endemic equilibrium, which is globally asymptotically stable, that is the transmission of measles keeps a steady state. Finally, the simulations are carried to verify the rationality of the results. This work has practical significance for guiding us to prevent and control the measles spread.
